Thanks very much for this mod. Why Google doesn't include a "reboot" option by default is beyond me.

However, I like to keep my N5 stock, so I can still receive OTA updates. Yeah, I'm rooted, but OTAs still work (I just have to reroot after), and yeah I commonly sideload them, but still... The point is that I want to be able to install OTA updates with no issues.

You have zip files to put things back to stock, which is awesome, but this mod doesn't really work (for me, anyway) without busybox. Maybe this is a stupid question, but does busybox do anything that will cause an OTA to fail? If so, is there anyway to undo it, short of restoring a nandroid backup?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Gorgtech:
If you flash a Stock Odex Firmware through your custom Recovery without a wipe ( dirty flash ), you can as well simply flash the downloaded OTA Package after without any problems. This is the easiest way to update your system ;) This method works very well with the latest TWRP recovery, you have to reroot after etc. :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] garzacorporations:
Yes, I was using MotoX
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
Busybox provides all the other binaries. Pretty much the entire /system/xbin folder are just linked commands that trace back to busybox so its easier to say take a look in there than list all of them.

Do you try autopickup function in wizard? I've tried for many times. It does't work even I 'd changed to the orther roms. Is it the bug of OS or Wizard100?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nazem:
Hey everyone i just got a verizon galaxy s4 and am using t-mobile on it. Everything (talk, text, h+) works great but i wanna install a custom rom which requires root. The problem is that every tutorial i've seen for rooting requires you to have a sd card to root but i don't have one on me. So is there a way to root w/out sd card? Also by installing a custom rom, would it take away the ability to use my t-mobile sim? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
If you're on ME7 and really don't want to buy a sdcard, then update to MI1 and use the root for MI1.

That'll get you root, but won't allow you to install any custom ROM - only those that are compatible with Safestrap.

And to pre-answer your next questions:

No, you can't downgrade to an older release.

NO, you can't install CM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArisingFlame:
I've done some searching, but to no avail.

I have a newer Samsung Galaxy S III Mini (G730A) that refuses to connect to my PC. I've put it in download mode and connected it, and the PC recognizes it just fine. But if it is not in download mode, it is not seen as a connected device and just charges.

I've tried connecting it and resetting the phone, but no dice there either.

Any solutions?

:EDIT:

And for clarification, I have not done anything to this phone yet.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Okay heres the issue I'm having with this tablet...I went to try it at a store as I wanted to check the beautiful screen and just the general unit. So to test the screen I decided to play the following video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKXcQ9PLuc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The internet connection was perfect....anyways the video was stuttery and tbh I was a little dissapointed since its buttery smooth on my S3.

I would appreciate for you guys to test it on your Note's and let me know how the video plays. Its important that it doesnt have youtube or really HQ playback problems since I'm planning on purchasing it from America so returning it for a refund wont be an option for me (I'm in UK)

The tablet as a whole is truely an amazing piece of kit and I really wish I have been an idiot and missed something. I'm going to try and visit a different shop tomorrow so hopefully it was just because the unit has been abused by customers or something.

P.S. I dont mind this thread getting hijacked for other youtube problems/questions on the Note 10.1 2014.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
Mine plays it smooth mate. Very slight jerkiness with the star movements but I think that's just due to the time lapse? You have to look hard to notice it. Want to try linking to another video that isn't time lapse?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Thanks for checking mate :good:

Yeah I notice it then mainly too but tbh I noticed it different parts of the video again and again without trying to concentrate on it.

Why would time lapse matter? Plus that whole video is a timelapse so it should wither be all stuttery or play just fine really. I'm not an expert at this stuff as you can probs tell LOL just curious to why this tablet with the best screen on the market stutters with that video.

Try this one mate...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
No probs.

I'm connected with my phone now but will try the 2nd one on my wifi when i get home.

I watched both videos on my PC which has an i7 processor, 32GB RAM and Nvidia 4GB graphics card. It was connected to fibre optic 40MB BT Infinity and I saw the same slight stutter as I saw on the tablet. So I'd say it's the video rather than what we're watching it on...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
mmmm but works fine on my Galaxy S3 which is odd.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Anyways I got myself to another Currys today and tried out the Note's videos capabilitues for 20Mins. Man I love it....the youtube clip was much much better and I tried a different 4K video and that was absolutely flawless, So i guess the note just doesnt like the first video HAHA.

Anyways thanks for helping out mate - Now hopefully my mate gets an opportunity to buy me one from the US....Cannet wait to get one and watch a movie on that bad boy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ikecomp:
Not sure if this was already mentioned but the first link you posted actually links to a 3D version of the video. That might be why it played back funny on the note. Also, if you go through the youtube app you don't get the option to play the 3D version. Only if you play it through the web.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Jasonchewy91:
I'm facing serious stuttering on mine too! Only happens in YouTube app. YouTube videos played in browser works fine
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] punkmilitia:
That is very strange. I would say you may have a bad device. Ask fir a replacement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Okay I have a wierd issue on my Note when I play videos on youtube. Basically when watching a video in full screen mode and I change the orientation of the note the screen goes dim with a small box appears in the middle of the screen with appears to be signal bars at the bottom left of it.

Anyone experience this...I will take a screenshot when I finish work so yous can see what I mean but thought maybe in the mean time someone is/has experienced this before.

P.S I have no issues with signal or video quality during normal playback.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] donharden2002:
I just tried playing it back in the YouTube app and it stuttered very badly. I played it earlier on my son's iPad air and it played flawlessly. This is my 2nd note 2014 1st one had major screen issues.

Up until all of this Knox bs I've loved my Samsung devices, know it seems that it may be time to try something else. Fortunately I've got until Jan 15th to decide if I want to keep it or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
What video is stuttering? The one I posted on this thread on the first post?

See the weird thing is when I tried to play that video in some shops it failed miserably (before I had the Note 2014) yet now that I play it on my Note it plays flawlessly it's truly weird. I hope you figure out what the problem is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] donharden2002:
Basically every video I tried to pay on YouTube, even tried playing non hq videos and they stuttered as well. I did a factory reset and it seems to be better but still a few issues with playback.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Aye there must be something wrong with your Note then, I would deffo get it exchanged again or go to a different store since you probably got a Note from the same batch the last time you returned it.

Just download the file and Flash through your Custom Recovery

But you are to try though, just be sure to do nandroid backup.

Nice job.

Only one small thing....

The "update - script" is not good.

The strings:

"ui_print("Backing up old camera..");"

And:

" ui_print(" TIPS : in case you want to revert back to your ");

ui_print("old camera just flash Restore.zip");

Should say "keyboard" in staid "camera".

Its a good lesson for you to do always a NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING.

There's plenty of them around.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] lkirra:
I am aware of the sloppy script i made.

Sorry for that, but i think there is no need to clean the script for now.

You could delete the files, find a root explorer of your choice.

Go to /system/app

delete "ResourceManager.apk" and "SamsungIME.apk"

rename "SamsungIME.apk.bak" to "SamsungIME.apk"

rename "SamsungIME.odex.bak" to "SamsungIME.odex"

set the permissions to "644"

As always before flashing anything we should always do nandroid backup first.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeff5347:
Hey all, I'm thinking of getting a ( new) phone as I've had my vzw gnex for 2 yes now. As far as now I'm thinking of staying w vzw as I have unl. Data and honestly all the other carriers seem just as shady as vzw.

OK now on to what I was wondering. Since I plan on staying on my unl. plan I'm gonna buy a phone outright (craigslist, eBay, swappa, ect) so I don't lose my plan. Since I don't know what version of android the s4 will be running will the s4 be able to be rooted whether I get it with 4.2., 4.2.2, 4.3? I see the bootloader is not able to be unlocked so would that mean there are no custom kernels available? Since having the gnex I've been spoiled with full access to do whatever and however I want...ROMs, kernels, mods you name it. I know w the s4 I'll be limited verses the gnex but just curious on HOW limited?

Would you even advise against/for getting the s4?

Thanks in advance and at possible jumping into the s4 community...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
The only version of the GS4 that has a bootloader exploit is the MDK version, so if you can find one of those then you'll be pretty much all set to flash whatever you want to. Any other version past that- ME7, MI1, or the latest MJ7 have locked bootloaders with no current workaround. Another thing to note is that once you upgrade there is NO way to flash back to an earlier firmware. ME7 and MI1 both have root methods, however the latest update MJ7 doesn't have a "safe" rooting option at the moment. The only version that's 4.3 is MJ7.

If you are on ME7 or MI1 you can use a special program called Safestrap to flash roms, however they have to be on a Touchwiz kernel (no AOSP roms) and you won't have full access to the storage on your device (read the Safestrap thread for more info). If you don't want to do that you can use Xposed to customize without flashing roms, although I find a lot of stuff kind of buggy, so I only use it for Greenify on mine.

I have ME7 and currently I've: rooted, disabled WiFi notification, disable e911 icon, increased the default volume, installed the International Dialer, and used Xposed for Greenify. I'm happy with how my phone runs and the battery life, but I definitely feel limited with a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeff5347:
OK , some info to chew on. sucks. I am so spoiled w the Nex that any phone I look at can't unlock the BL and is severely crippled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a.demarco:
if you can find a developer edition s4 it comes with an unlocked bootloader. other than that, try to find an mdk version, and you can use the loki exploit.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] Pirateghost:
USB debugging only applies to a booted os. You have full adb functionality in a custom recovery. Reflash your ROM and gapps. If that still doesn't work, do a factory reset in recovery.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] raminjpr:
do you have a backup in ur recovery???

do you have a backup in ur recovery??? if yes, the simplest way is to restore the old backup!! then copy a new rom to ur internal storage --- flash it...

if not reflash the rom image!!! (ur rom image --->> boot.img in ur pc)

i believe you know to boot ur mobile in fastboot mode -- switch to fast boot , then connect ur mobile to PC (with USB)

i.e. In computer --> go to the place where you have your adb files (files used during rooting) --> press Shift and then right click --> select open command window here --->> then type --->> fastboot boot boot.img

if it say's okay done...

again reflash in recovery --- then select zip --- select ur rom zip in ur mobile...repeat the procedure...

since u have ur recovery...i hope you wont have big problem

Hi guys, need your help. I am coming over from the iPhone. Just ordered a used S3 for my first Android phone and very excited.

It should arrive this week and I would like to have it rooted. I would like to also install the latest stable Cyanogenmod release for this phone. Is it 10.2?

I have never rooted a phone or loaded any roms. I am having trouble finding the CM rom that's the latest most stable one. I just see a bunch of different names and have no clue which one I need. Can you guys recommend something?

Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like something quick, good battery life, and good for a daily driver. I saw a youtube video that showed Cyanogenmod as most closest to stock and very stable.

That's a one-stop shop for S3, rooting and flashing custom recovery. Check that thread and follow the instructions there. You need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, before you can flash Custom ROM's like CM 10.2

Yes CM 10.2 is the latest version of CM with Android 4.3. CM 11 with 4.4 Kitkat is also in for S3, but dont expect it to be stable.

Also, release that there are lots of ROM's based on CM source, so they should work fine too. There are other very good custom ROM's like Carbon, Paranoid Android etc which offer unique features, while there are hybrid ROM's that combine features from all these. You need to try different ones to see what works best for you.

Also, refer to this video and others from that channel.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gdeadfan:
Hey all,

I bought an S View case from Best Buy about 2 weeks ago when I got my Note 3. It's been okay, but I think as much as I've wanted to like it, I'm just not happy. The flap never wants to stay closed, the overhang makes it feel unprofessional, but my biggest complaint is that it seems to be scratching my screen.

The bottom and right edge of the window has left a seemingly permanent line of scuffing on my phone's screen. I can wipe it off with a cleaning cloth and it disappears, but as soon as rub over it with my finger, the smudge reappears. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm definitely returning the case finally, and I think I'm going to try to get an exchange on my phone. Will Best Buy replace my phone for this issue do you think? Thanks

Edit: Proof.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] williamyi:
Are you sure you got the genuine S View cover? I don't have the issues you mentioned here. The 1st S View in S4 doesn't close fitly but this is not the case in Note 3. Even after a prolonged turning the flip backward, it will still close nicely. And the window of the S View doesn't scratch the front fascia or the screen of my Note 3
